Carnitine is often called an amino acid but it is actually a vitamin-like nutrient, related in structure to the B vitamins. It plays an essential role in transporting fats into the muscles for energy production. For this reason, it is often referred to as a "fat burning" nutrient. New research shows it also aids hair growth.

Saw palmetto, pygeum and nettle root help to reduce the effects testosterone on your body, such as hirsutism (excessive male pattern hair growth), male pattern hair loss, and acne. Women with PCOS frequently have excessively high levels of testosterone. Pygeum also is reported to reduce excessive luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin levels, which are problems for PCOS women.
